The company is the only significant manufacturer [br]of sporting motorcycles in the United States. The first Buell [br]motorcycle, the RW750, was built in 1983 purely for competing in the [br]AMA Formula 1 motorcycle road racing championship. At that time, Erik [br]Buell was a top contending privateer motorcycle racer. After completion [br]of the first two RW750 racing machines, one of which was sold to [br]another racing team, the Formula 1 series was cancelled. Buell then [br]turned his focus towards racing-inspired, street-going machines [br]utilizing engines manufactured by Harley. In 1994 Harley-Davidson [br]Incorporated joined in partnership with Buell Motor Company as a 49% [br]stakeholding minority partner and the company formed was renamed "Buell [br]Motorcycle Company". In 1998 Harley purchased majority control of [br]Buell, and it has been a subsidiary ever since. Since then, Buell has [br]utilized modified Harley-Davidson Sportster engines to power their [br]motorcycles.[br] [br]Most Buell motorcycles use four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engines, [br]originally built from XR1000 Sportster engines. After these were [br]depleted, a basic 1200 Sportster engine was used. In 1995, the engines [br]were upgraded with Buell engineered high performance parts, and further [br]upgraded in 1998. In 2003, Buell introduced an engine so efficient it [br]passes emissions test requirements through 2008. It does this without [br]the need for catalytic converters, or air injection, as is typical on [br]other modern motorcycles. The new line of Buell XB models also [br]incorporated the industry's first ever Zero Torsional Load (ZTL) [br]perimeter floating front disc brake system, an "inside-out" wheel/brake [br]design that puts the brake disc on the outer edge of the wheel, rather [br]than at the hub. This design allows the elimination of some mass from [br]the front wheel, reducing unsprung weight, and enhances the abilities [br]of the front suspension. Other industry innovations introduced by Buell [br]in the XB lineup were the "fuel in frame technology", and the dual use [br]of the swingarm as an oil tank. Also, all Buell models feature a [br]muffler mounted below the engine to keep mass centralized.[br] [br]Buell designs focus on providing good handling, easy maintenance, and [br]street-friendly real-world performance. Buell motorcycles are [br]engineered with an emphasis on what they call the "Trilogy of Tech": [br]mass centralization, low unsprung weight, and frame rigidity. Buell [br]engines are designed to be street-friendly both in fuel efficiency (up [br]to 70 M.P.G. with the Blast), and in power (the 1203cc version produces [br]over 100HP). They are also simple and easy to maintain. Buell [br]two-cylinder engines utilize computer controlled ducted forced air [br]cooling (no radiator or liquid coolant, just a variable speed fan that [br]only activates as required), two valves per cylinder, a single throttle [br]body, zero maintenance hydraulic valve actuation, and zero maintenance [br]gear-driven cams. However, the motor retains a pushrod valvetrain, [br]which was abandoned by Japanese sportsbike manufacturers in the 1970's.[br]
